>> the mormon religion did play a role, but also, mitt romney flip-flopped on same-sex marriage, they perceived that and also the abortion issue. so evangelicals can -- >> i think the republican party has become overly dependent on its evangelicals, and the real question is do they have anybody to replace them with. once they begin to appeal more broadly as these are mostly older people, as these people pass, you really will have a big hole left in their party. >> and that points to important demographics. single women voted for obama in 2008 and they voted for him in 2012. but the problem is the percentage of the population that are single women skyrocketed and the number of latinos in this country who are voting age skyrocketed. so for the republicans to -- and remember, we're non-partisan organization here, but let's talk about tactics, if the republican party can find its way to embrace immigration, sound immigration policy and figure out a middle road on how to talk about at least birth control, which 71% of identified pro-life republican women believe women should be making the

and we stood next to each other working together to complete the task at hand and religion was never an issue and i think that that is really the lesson here and that's what i'm looking forward to bringing to congress and i think it's a perfect time and a great time for congress to start moving towards this representation of diversity and really this common ideal that regardless of what our differences might be, we need to come together for the people. >> i read a blurb about you in the "new york times," you find your spirituality through yoga. tell us about that. >> well, i also practice and many people do, the exercise form of yoga. but karma yoga is really the ideal of service. whatever it is that you're doing, doing it with the value of service and seeing how you can effect positive change on those around you and that's really what has been the guiding light for me throughout my life and it's what has motivated me and brought me here today. >> we need a lot of that in con greps today. tulsi gabbard, thank you. >> aloha. >> aloha. >>> people are going to craigslist to find a loan.

and a lot of it has to do with our long history and pluralization of american religions. >> so tell us a bit about that history. why is it okay to joke about jesus but not other religious figures? >> the sacred is much more in contest here in part because of our legacy of religious freedom, but in part because we've had a long history of conflict over sacred imagery and words, often violent conflict. and in more recent years because of the rise of secularism, because of the rise of the culture of mockery in part, as well. it's just become more acceptable. >> is it because more and more of us are agnostic? i mean, why is it? is it -- do we still believe in jesus yet we joke about him? is it the other way around? >> well, it's funny if you read the comments on our cnn belief blog, you'll see that people are engaging in arguments with each other saying our argument has but humor is the way we deal with these kinds of conflicts. and as we say in the piece, in part, it's our way we don't kill each other. >> well, interestingly, i was talking to one of the employees here at cnn, kathy, and s
